VX-410/420 SERIESVHF/UHF Portable RadiosThe VX-410/420 Series of 32-Channel VHF/UHF Portables features 5 Watts of Power Output and a host ofleading-edge built-in features for demanding business/industry and public safety applications. Included asstandard features are Dual 2-Tone Decode, 2-Tone Encode, 5-Tone Encode/Decode, Encryption, VoiceCompander, and Multi-mode Scanning. The VX-410/420 may be programmed, by channel, for 12.5/20/25kHz channel spacing, and for simplex or split operation.The deluxe VX-420 version features an eight-character alphanumeric display, 4 additional programmablekeys and illuminated keypad. Both the VX-410 and VX-420 are available in Intrinsically Safe versions, andall are built with legendary Vertex ruggedness and unmatched cost-performance.HIGH PERFORMANCE5 WATTS POWER OUTPUTThe VX-410/420 Portables produce a full 5 Watts of power output,with an additional selection of 1 Watt available for increasedbattery life when higher power is not required.12.5/20/25 kHz BANDWIDTH (PROGRAMMABLE BY CHANNEL)When programming radios for use in different jurisdictions orgeographical regions, the VX-410/420 Portables may beprogrammed, channel by channel, for 12/5, 20, or 25 kHz channelspacing environments, with both bandwidth and deviationautomatically set according to each channels requirements.LEADING-EDGE DESIGNCrafted with care for use in areas of severe RF pollution, theVX-410/420 Portables include excellent adjacent-channelselectivity and immunity from Intermodulation, along with TIAcompliant±2.5 ppm frequency stability.LOUD 500 mW AUDIO OUTPUTIdeal for reception in noisy environments, the VX-410/420Portables’ high-powered audio is coupled to a large internalspeaker, assuring solid copy throughout difficult crowd control,fire, or sporting-event operations.LONG-LIFE LITHIUM-ION BATTERY (1600 mAh)The VX-410/420 Portables may be equipped with advancedFNB-V67 Lithium-Ion Battery Packs with 1600 mAh of capacity,for operating times of up to ten hours or more, even when using5 Watts (5-5-90 duty cycle).VERSATILITY32 CHANNEL CAPACITYThe 32-channel capacity of the VX-410/420 Portables includesquick access, and the channelspecificinformation loaded duringprogramming minimizes the extrakeystrokes required on competingmodels. Two banks of 16 channelseach are provided for convenientchannel access.PROGRAMMABLE "SOFT" KEYSTwo buttons on the side panel of the VX-410 maybe custom-programmed for specific functionsneeded in your application. The VX-420 additionallyprovides four front-panel programmable keys, fora total of six available custom buttons.OPTIONAL TRUNKING CAPABILITYInstallation of the optional SmarTrunk ® moduleenables use of the VX-410/420 on systemsequipped for VX-Trunk operation.DUAL 2-TONE AND 5/6-TONE SYSTEMS BUILT INFor smooth integration into advanced radio systems, the VX-410/420Portables are equipped with 2-Tone Encode/Decode, Dual 2-ToneDecode, as well as 5/6-Tone Encode/Decode circuitry. In addition,DTMF ANI and DTMF Paging capability is also available throughinstallation of the optional FVP-25 DTMF Pager Unit.EASY USER INTERFACEADVANCED 8-CHARACTER ALPHANUMERIC DISPLAYProviding an Alphanumeric Channel Label of up to 8characters, the LCD display also provides convenient operatingfunction icons to provide instant recognition of radio status.ERGONOMIC CONSTRUCTIONThe carefully-engineered case construction features a gentlyrounded shape for a solid grip, whether the radio is wet or dry.Its over-sized keys are easy to activate, and the operatingfirmware has been carefully shaped by years of feedback frompublic safety, business, industry, and government users.KEY LOCKA Soft key may be programmed as a Key Lock control, toprevent inadvertent channel change or unwanted activation/deactivationof functions. This is especially valuable in surveillanceoperations, where the radio may be concealed and subject toaccidental pressure on its keys.RADIO TO RADIO CLONE FEATUREFor quick programming of the VX-410/420 radios for anemergency task force, the Clone feature allows copying of allchannel and configuration data from one VX-410/420 toanother, using the optional CT-27 Cloning Cable.SECURITYBUILT-IN ENCRYPTIONThe built-in Encryption circuit provides security for your importantpublic safety and private security communications, and it maybe enabled at the time of radio programming by the dealer.OPTIONAL VOICE RECORDERThe optional DVS-5 Voice Recorder Unit allows you to recordand store up to 120 seconds of incoming receiver audio, idealfor keeping an audible record of an important message. Audio maybe saved either as a one-time 2-minute recording, or a constantlyrefreshing "last 120 seconds" recording may be made.PROGRAMMING SECURITYCloning capability may be disabled at the time of programming, toprevent unauthorized access to channel data. The transceiveralso may be programmed with an access password, to preventunauthorized attempts to gain access to channel data viacomputer programming.

DURABLE CONSTRUCTIONULTRA COMPACTThe VX-410/420 Series Portables featuresand performance are housed in an ultrarugged,compact case measuring only 2.3"(W) x 4.3" (H) x 1.2" (D), and weighing less thanof a pound with the standard FNB-V57 Battery.MIL-STD RATEDDesigned for use under the most demandingconditions, the VX-410/420 Portables arebuilt in compliance with MIL-STD 810 D/E/Fspecifications for reliable operation in environmentsincluding shock, vibration, high and lowtemperature, low pressure, rain, humidity, saltfog, and dust.INTRINSICALLY SAFE (IS) VERSIONSAVAILABLE (pending)The VX-410/420 Portables are also availablein Intrinsically Safe (IS) versions, for leadingedgecommunications capability in hazardousoperating situations. Included in the IScertification for the VX-410/420 is approvalfor use in dangerous hydrogen and acetyleneenvironments.VX-410 SeriesACTUAL SIZEVX-420 Series
